Picked up the Marauder today and I just can't wipe that smile off my face. Had Magnaflows (deleting 2nd cats, retaining factory tips) installed as well as 4:10 gears.
Wow.. what a sound... nice old school rumble, not too loud in normal driving, very assertive at WOT.
4:10 Gears are a definate kick in the pants... thought I wouldn't do it, now I'm glad I pulled the trigger on this mod.
Installed Lidio's 4:10/93 tune when I got home. that was the cherry on top!

I do have the dead pedal from Ron to install yet. It looks great. A well made product.
So far everything I have bought for the car has been sourced from this site. All good folks to deal with.

Next step would be a supercharger... but that might be awhile, if ever.
I might be done for awhile, other than the Head Unit upgrade. Still standing by with John on the new Pioneer AVIC F90BT's.

I love my Lightning but this is a different experience.

I too would like a little more rumble from my MM. Iowa does not do emission inspections however it has been my experience in the past muffler shops don't or wont remove emission related components other than to replace them. How do you convince them to remove the rear cats and when removed does it throw a code? thanks Rick

Rick, I was worried about removing the rear cats too, but advice on the forum convinced me that they were not essential and were not linked back to the emission system. There was no problem with the shop either as they were aware that they were not linked. No codes. Just a great sound.

No codes if you remove the rear cats....
